That recalibration includes proposing to amend DOT's fuel economy standards for light-duty vehicles for model years (MYs) 2022- 2026 and MYs 2027-2031. Consistent with statutory requirements, the fuel economy standards proposed in this rule are founded on light-duty vehicles powered by gasoline and diesel fuels, a category that includes non-plug-in hybrid vehicles. In formulating the proposed standards, NHTSA has not considered, consistent with law, the imputed fuel-economy performance of battery-powered electric vehicles (EVs) or the electric operation of vehicles that use plug-in hybrid electric powertrains, nor compliance credits or adjustments to the two-cycle fuel economy test procedures to account for air conditioning and off-cycle technologies. NHTSA also is proposing to eliminate the inter-manufacturer credit trading system and to amend the light-duty vehicle fleet classification system to allocate vehicles into passenger and non-passenger automobile fleets appropriately, based on their attributes and capabilities, starting in MY 2028. Elimination of unlawful considerations, combined with several of the proposed changes, would significantly improve the capabilities of manufacturers to meet fuel economy standards, better align the program with Congressional intent, and reduce manufacturer incentives to design vehicles and add features that are not desired by American consumers and that have questionable real-world fuel economy benefits. NHTSA is therefore proposing to set fuel economy standards that increase from newly proposed MY 2022 standards at a rate of 0.5 percent per year through MY 2026, followed by 0.25 percent per year through MY 2031, with MY 2027 stringency established as a bridge between the two sets of standards. The reduced stringency increases in later years, coupled with a reevaluation of the coefficients that define the functions governing fuel economy standards, are intended to establish maximum feasible standards in a manner that gains real-world fuel-economy-benefits, while enabling the industry to adapt to the proposed substantial recalibration of the CAFE program. NHTSA projects that the amended standards would correspond to the industry fleetwide average for all light-duty vehicles of roughly 34.5 miles per gallon (mpg) in MY 2031.","document_number":"2025-22014","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/12/05/2025-22014/the-safer-affordable-fuel-efficient-safe-vehicles-rule-iii-for-model-years-2022-to-2031-passenger","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-12-05/pdf/2025-22014.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-22014.pdf?1764855918","publication_date":"2025-12-05","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","name":"Transportation Department","id":492,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/492","parent_id":null,"slug":"transportation-department"},{"raw_name":"National Highway Traffic Safety Administration","name":"National Highway Traffic Safety Administration","id":345,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/national-highway-traffic-safety-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/345","parent_id":492,"slug":"national-highway-traffic-safety-administration"}],"excerpts":"increasing footprint could create incentives for manufacturers to upsize <span class=\"match\">vehicles</span>, since small changes in <span class=\"match\">vehicle</span> footprint would result in a significant change in the <span class=\"match\">vehicle's</span> fuel economy target; conversely, flatter standards could create a significant amount of additional technology burden for larger <span class=\"match\">vehicles</span> to meet fuel economy targets like those of smaller <span class=\"match\">vehicles</span>.

The Bureau and Offices adopt the proposed processes and methodology set forth in the Broadband Data Collection (BDC) Mobile Technical Requirements Proposed Rules for collecting challenge process data and for determining when the threshold to create a cognizable challenge has been met. Additionally, the Bureau and Offices adopt detailed processes for mobile providers to respond to challenges, for the Federal Communications Commission (Commission or FCC) to initiate a verification request to a service provider, and for providers to respond to verification requests to confirm broadband coverage in areas they claim have service. The Bureau and Offices adopt the parameters and metrics that must be collected both for on-the-ground test data to support challenge submissions, rebuttals to cognizable challenges, and responses to verification requests, and for infrastructure information to support challenge rebuttals and responses to verification requests.

President Biden further directed that the 2020 final rule be reviewed at once and that (in this case) the Secretary of Transportation consider \"suspending, revising, or rescinding\" it, via a new proposal, by July 2021. Because of the President's direction in the E.O., NHTSA reexamined the 2020 final rule under its authority to set corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards.
